November 16, 2017

Whether you like to play sports or watch them; ride your bike or be part of a team, this issue of Kayak brings you great stories from our sporting history. For instance, did you know that Canada has two official sports? Or that it was Canadians who introduced Americans to football? Learn all about the story of sports past and present and discover more about some Canadian athletes who wowed the world. In fact, the team with the most wins in world history came from Edmonton, but it features basketball, not hockey, and young women, not men — the Edmonton Grads. And then there’s the story of the young Onondaga runner Tom Longboat who amazed audiences all over the globe a century ago. Test your knowledge of the Canada Games, match up athletes with their scrambled names and lots more!

It’s awful when terrible events occur, but on the flipside, it’s pretty wonderful to know that others are always ready to help. This issue looks at the Great Depression, the Halifax Explosion, emergency response and natural disasters.
